[Samsung Galaxy Mini] cesedy:
Hello. I was searching on google how to connect my android to my PC`s shared Internet over Virtual Router.

I wanted to share this method because as I read there were many problems connecting to Virtual Router (works only on Windows 7 with Hosted network support).

Sorry, cannot post any links to application or sources as I have no access to that option.

Do not know if this will work for you but it worked for me. It is worth a try.

1. So, first step is to verify that your WiFi card is supported (search google - "virtual router supported devices" and at second result you can check that).

2. If you do not have supported device, sorry, can not help you. But if you have, then download Virtual Router manager v0.9 BETA application and run it. If you cannot start Virtual Router follow all next steps. But if you can start it and you can connect with your android device to Virtual Router then go straight to the step no. 10.

3. Open command prompt with Administrator privileges. (Windows button + R)

4. Enter the following command: netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=Test key=YOUR PASSWORD GOES HERE

Keep CMD window open as you will need it later (This will create a wireless access-point with SSID of “Test” Windows-7-Wifi-Setup)

5. Open the Networks and Sharing Center, then Change adapter settings.

Notice that there is a new "adapter" with labels:

Wireless Network Connection (may have some number at the end)

Test

Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter

6. Right mouse click on adapter with what are you using internet on your PC and select Properties.

7. At the Sharing tab tick both boxes and at Home network connection drop-down menu select adapter which you created at step no. 4 (Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter).

8. After you have done these steps, go back at CMD and run this command: netsh wlan start hostednetwork.

This will start Virtual Router as well (if you left it running at step no.2). If you closed it then start Virtual Router and click on Start.

9. Now try to connect with your android device to Virtual Router.

10. Check if you have an internet connection by going on web. If you can connect and have internet connection then you are lucky and that is it for you. But if you can connect to Virtual Router but do not have internet access then follow these last steps.

11. On Windows, the Networks and Sharing Center, then Change adapter settings.

Double click on Microsoft Virtual WiFi Minispot Adapter and click on Details.

From there you will need this information: IPv4 Address and IPv4 Subnet Mask

12. (Note - you have to be connected to Virtual Router because I did that ant that was the way it worked for me) On android device go to Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Wi-Fi Settings. Press Menu button and go to Advanced.

Note the IP adress which Virtual Router have provided to you.

12.1. Tick Use static IP

12.2. In IP address enter the address which Virtual Router had provided to you.

12.3. In Gateway enter IPv4 Address from step no. 11.

12.4. In Netmask enter digits from IPv4 Subnet Mask (255.255.255.0)

12.5. In DNS 1 enter 8.8.8.8 and in DNS 2 enter 8.8.4.4 (those are Google Public DNS).

12.6. Press Menu button and select Save.

Now you can check if you have a internet connection.

I hope this will work for you as it is working for me.

If this helped you, do not be shy to click on Thanks ;)
